Former Chelsea winger says he is ‘very, very close’ to joining Liverpool.

Liverpool seem to be linked with hundreds of players every summer, but the former Chelsea star has revealed when he almost made a move to Anfield.Florent Malouda on the Obi One podcast: “Liverpool showed their first interest [in 2007]. My coach at the time was Gérard Hollier, and when I heard there was interest, I spoke to him in his office.“It was funny because he loved Liverpool so much. Just called and started contract negotiations with Liverpool! He was the manager who signed for Liverpool! It was very close.

That shows how much he still cares about the club. Although that didn’t happen, it would certainly be an interesting prospect if the France international was in the red shirt during his prime.
